  Steve Clark posted in Australian Twitchers .       Steve Clark October 17 at 3:04pm   The IOC is preparing to roll out their world bird list version 5.4 (http://www.worldbirdnames.org/updates/species-updates/). Among the changes is a range of species split from Collared Kingfisher. One is to be called Torresian Kingfisher (Todiramphus sordidus). This is the form from central Qld coast and in n Australia and the Aru Islands. The current ssp. pilbara (nw Australia) and colcloughi (se Qld and ne NSW) are retained as Collared Kingfisher. So an armchair tick for many of us I guess. Another split is the Norfolk Robin from the Pacific Robin.
